Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor’s Wild Beast-Tamer Empress

Chapter 555: Scapegoat Ghost Emperor

Wu Chong!

Chen Hong Ru remembered in a flash that the Ghost Emperor Wu Chong mysteriously appeared on the Star Gazing Balcony that day. He asked nothing but how to exit from the Cave No.1 and then left.

In fact, Chen Hong Ru had doubted Wu Chong’s intentions afterwards, but he never expected that Wu Chong would break into the Star Cave.

Every why has a wherefore, thought Chen Hong Ru, especially for a figure like Wu Chong, he could not suddenly care about the Star Cave in North Qing for no reason.

Rumors said that, the Ghost Emperor’s cultivation had reached the state where he could compressed to inches, and he was the only one that was strong enough in this world to steal the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix under Chen Hong Ru’s nose.

However, what was the purpose of Wu Chong’s steal?

Arguably, his cultivation had long been beyond the Reincarnation Realm. There were even rumors that Wu Chong’s strength could already be compared with that of the patriarch of the Three Sects. How could a Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix and Six Grades Heaven and Earth Tribulation draw his attention?

The more Chen Hong Ru thought about it, the more confused he became. However, he was more convinced that the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix indeed stolen by Wu Chong.

What a defiance, the last time he dared to threaten Chen Hong Ru, while this time, he went so far to steal the treasure of the Dan Palace. From now on, the Underground Palace was the sworn enemy of the Dan Palace.

Poor Wu Chong did not know that he was now a scapegoat for Ye Ling Yue's indiscretion.

At that moment, Feng Shen was riding in a carriage in the Li City of Da Xia. For no reason, he felt itchy in his ears.

It turned out that the curtain of the carriage blown up by the wind.

The blow up curtain revealing the scenery outside the window caught his eyes. There was an open river ahead.

The carriage stopped at the edge of a dock. Muddy river water beat against the bank, leaving ripples of white foam.

Feng Shen suddenly noticed that he had reached the water’s edge unknowingly. The downstream of the water was the Li City.

Feng Shen could not help thinking that he and Ye Ling Yue had not contacted for more than ten days.

He knew that she was practicing in the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix these days and had no time for him.

However, it seemed that he had been accustomed to chatting with her at night, and falling asleep accompanied by her sweet and laid-back voice. His heart felt a little bit empty without her voice.

Well, absence made the heart grow fonder.

Seeing Feng Shen stared at the river with a pair of dull eyes as if thinking of something, the Butler Mu smiled.

“w.a.n.g Ye, this is the place where you and Miss Ye first met.”

Fate was really a very subtle thing. Who would ever antic.i.p.ated that the two people encountered because of an accidental drowning would meet again and have feelings for each other.

The ship from the Phoenix Manor was yet to arrive. Feng Shen, Butler Mu and Dao Nu were waiting on the dock.

People crowded on the dock waiting for the ferry to cross the river, while several gazes from the crowd seemed fixed on the three.

Feng Shen paid no attention, no matter where he was, his outstanding appearance would become the focus of attention.

He had an indifferent character and cared no one except Yue Ling Yue and his a few brothers.

“Is this Lord Feng?” There was a voice in the crowd and Feng Shen looked back.

Feng Shen did not expect to meet the people from the Ye Mansion here.

The questioner was Ye Huang Shu, who claimed to be Ye Ling Yue’s second uncle.

Feng Shen had no impression of him, but the other party said that he had seen Feng Shen before in the Li City. There were several young men and women accompanied Ye Huang Shu, presumably the young children from their family.

When they heard that Feng w.a.n.g was an old acquaintance of Ye Ling Yue and a lord of North Qing, these several men and women all nodded in awe. Mentioning about Ye Lingyue, all of them was very sad.

Ye Ling Yue was no longer the silly girl she had been but a family member of great significance to the Ye clan.

Located in the Li City, the Ye family’s nowadays status was inseparable from Ye Ling Yue's contribution.

If Ye Ling Yue had not died in the North Qing Star Cave, she would probably become the first child in the Ye family to be conferred the t.i.tle of Baroness as a female.

Although no longer in the Li City, Ye Ling Yue had become a legend and a role model among the children of the Ye family.

Ye Huang Shu’s words of regret and the sadness revealed by the children of the Ye family made Feng Shen realized that Ye Ling Yue “had dead”.

In fact, the fact that she was actually alive was known only to a very small group of people such as Mr. and Mrs. Lan, Ye Huang Yu, Nie Feng Xing, Wu Hou, and Lan Cai’er.

“We even failed to make it to attend her funeral… This time I took some of my family's younger generation to take part in the Imperial Contest so we could also stop by to worship and sweep her tombs.” Because of his daughter Ye Yin Shuang, Ye Huang Shu had always favored Ye Ling Yue. He was also the first person to discover Ye Ling Yue's martial arts talent, so mentioning her, his eyes were still red.

Feng Shen did not like to cheat. He had to change the subject since he could not tell the truth.

Then the topic naturally shifted to this Imperial Contest.

The Contest, featuring as the biggest compet.i.tion in Da Xia, was also the only one held by the Da Xia Palace where the winner could win the compet.i.tion rewarded by the Xia Emperor.

It held every three years and could be attended by young martial artists under the age of 20.

The final winners could make a name for themselves in Da Xia, and the top three could enter the royal court directly.

Therefore, for those martial artists who came from poor families or ordinary family background, the Contest was an excellent opportunity.

“It’s a pity that Sister Ling Yue is not able to take part in this Contest. Otherwise, she must be the strongest compet.i.tor.”

The speaker was Ye Yin Shuang, also one of the children of the Ye family who took part in the Imperial Contest.

Since Ye Ling Yue became an alchemistress and Ye Huang Yu was appointed as a general, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the Ye family.

Although she had been away from home for a long time, Ye Ling Yue would send Dan pills home from time to time. With the help of the Alchemist a.s.sociation from the Li City, the Ye family had cultivated a number of innate martial masters from scratch.

In its younger generation, including Ye Yin Shuang, there were even two Dan Realm Warriors. This also made it rapidly grow into the largest family in the Li City, with a trend of local hegemon.

However, of all the children in the family, the strongest one was Ye Liu Yun. According to Ye Yin Shuang, Ye Liu Yun was though only a core disciple of a second-rate sect, but she was highly valued in her sect.

Her accomplishments had reached Yuan Dan Realm. Such accomplishments could be regarded as gifted even in Da Xia, let alone in Li City.

She was also a genius of the Ye family before the rise of Ye Ling Yue.

However, the two only had contacts when they were young since Liu Yun went out in an early age for studying martial arts.

During their conversations, the ship from the Phoenix Manor arrived unnoticed.

Since these people had the same destination, and were the family of Ye Ling Yue, Feng Shen invited all of them on board heading for Da Xia.
